[HOWTO]Setting up oCam - Record - General tab

Click Tools-Options in the oCam menu to display the following settings window. Learn about the Recording-General tab.

 
Include the cursor

- It is checked by default. If checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is included. If not checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is not included.

 

 


Hide drag cursor in recording area

-By default, the check is cleared. If checked, the drag cursor in the middle of the recording area disappears.


Frames Per Second (FPS)
- It is set to 30 by default and can be up to 120 FPS. 30 FPS is suitable for recording general screens. It is recommended to record 60 FPS or more for racing games or games that change screens rapidly during game recording.


Among the built-in codecs, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 codecs are fixed at 30 FPS without being affected by the codec setting.

Keyframe interval
- By default, it is set to 5. If the keyframe interval is 5, keyframes are generated every 5 seconds, if 1, every 1 second, if 2, every 2 seconds, if n, then every second.

Decoder Resolution Compatibility
- Some video players have a problem with blurry playback of video files that are not set to a specific resolution size. (For example, bear player)

By default, the width is set to a multiple of 8, and the vertical is set to a multiple of 4. If the horizontal size of the recording area specified by the user does not fit to the multiple of 8, it is forced to a multiple of 8. The vertical size of the recording area does not fit to the multiple of 4. If not, the vertical size is applied in multiples of four.

For example, if the decoder resolution is set to "multiple of 8 and vertical of 4" and the recording area is 427x241, the horizontal size is 427, but since it is not divided by 8, the horizontal resolution is corrected to divide by 8 Is 424, and the vertical size is not divided by 4, so it is applied to 240 so that the recording area is finally set to 424x240.



Additional tips

[Tips]Rename files saved when recording, recording, or capturing

Click Tools-Options in the top menu of Ocam.
Click the Save tab on the left to set the file name to save.

 


By default it is saved in the following format:
<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>


Characters enclosed in <> brackets contain special keywords that can be used to represent headers, dates, serial numbers, program names, user IDs, and user names.

The default setting is to start recording and finish the recording. It will be saved in the recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 format.

 

Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

This will save the test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 format when recording is complete.

If you want to add a serial number rather than a date after the test

Test _ <#> will save Test_1 ... Test_2 ... Test_3 ............ Test_10 It's possible.

Description of special keywords in <> brackets


If the current date is
2015_05_07_14_22_41_791
Form,

<Y> = 15 (two-digit year)
<YY> = 15 (two-digit year)
<YYYY> = 2015 (four digit year)
<M> = 5 (one digit per month)
<MM> = 05 (two digits per month)
<MMM> = 5 (not used in Korean locales)
<MMMM> = May (monthly, followed by language according to system locale)
<D> = 7 (one digit per day)
<DD> = 07 (two digits per day)
<DDD> = Thursday (day of week)
<DDDD> = Thursday (pasted by language according to locale)
<DDDDD> = 2015-05-07 (date)
<DDDDDD> = Thursday, May 7, 2015 (date and day of week, localized by language)
<C> = 2015-05-07 2:22:41 pm (date and time)
<H> = 14 (one digit of hour)
<HH> = 14 (two-digit hour)

<N>= 22 (one digit minute) 

<NN>= 22 (two digit minute)
<S> = 41 (single digit seconds)
<SS> = 41 (two digit seconds)
<Z> = 791 (milliseconds)
<ZZZ>= 791 (milliseconds)
<T> = 2:22 PM (names are different according to AM / PM locale, followed by time)

<TT> = 2:22:41 PM (AM / PM locales are therefore different names, followed by hours and seconds)
<AM/PM> = AM or PM
<a/p> = a or p
<ampm> = AM or PM

<Prefix> = Record when recording, screen capture when capture, sound when recording
<ProgramName> = oCam for basic recording, and the name of the executable file for the game program if the video is recorded.

<UserID> = Windows user ID
<DisplayUserName> = window user displayed name

<#> = Single digit serial number
<##> = two digit serial number
<###> = three digit serial number
